To all whom it may concern/.-

Be it known that I, RIoHARD R. LEE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Merrimac,

in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Window-Strips; and I do hereby declarethe following to bea full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to carriage-windows; and it consists in the novelconstruction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully describedand claimed whereby the window is prevented from rattling in its frame.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front vieW of portions of acarriage-window and its frame constructed according to this invention.Fig. 2 is a cross section taken on the line a: w in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is across-section of the felt strip.

A is a portion of a carriage-Window of any approved construction, and Bis a portion of the frame or pillar in which it works. This frame orpillar has a groove 6, in which the Window slides.

O is a strip of felt secured to the edge of the window-sash and workingin the groove 6.

This strip C has a fiat back 0 of the same Width as the Window-sash andhas inclined side portions d.

D is a groove or channel in the front face of the strip. The front faceof the strip C is Wider than its rear face, and the depth of the stripis the same as the depth of the groove. The groove in the face of thestrip permits the points to be compressed, so that the strip fits snuglyin the groove and bears with an elastic pressure against both the sidesand the bottom of the groove in the frame or pillar.

What I claim is The combination, with a window-frame provided with aguide-groove, of a window-sash, and a solid strip of packing materialsecured to the edge of the said sash and Working in the said groove,said strip having inclined sides and a face of normally greater widththan the said sash and provided With a groove next to the bottom of thesaid guide-groove.
